Media too often slants coverage of Donald Trump

The Livingston Daily’s Aug. 31st story on the statewide Trump flash mobs was a service to the community. The report of 150 Trump supporters who rallied in Brighton, was good news for unbiased news. Too often it’s the opposite, as with the media’s slant on Trump’s immigration policies. Bill Clinton’s 1996 State of the Union address received widespread support and praise when it promised major increases in border controls, strong penalties, and an immediate executive order denying federal contracts for any employer who hired illegals. Yet Trump’s nearly identical proposed policy has been portrayed as “racist,” in spite of the thousands of legal immigrants he’s hired to work in his own businesses over the years. Bill Clinton’s push for welfare reform in the 90s helped spur economic prosperity for many poor Americans. Trump has championed similar goals. He speaks of the dignity of a decent job, and the genuine opportunity for students to attend quality schools of their choice. Those who would attempt to label and shame Trump and his supporters are mistaken. Another public Trump rally is planned by supporters at LivingstonforTrump.com. Local folks will once again proudly rally to defend an America that refuses to perpetuate the cycle of poverty in this country.
